WE OFFER ELKHART'S MOST COMPREHENSIVE HOME INSPECTIONS
At Michiana Home Inspections, we go above and beyond essential home inspections to provide the most in-depth review possible. Our Elkhart housing inspectors perform a thorough visual and physical evaluation of the home, looking for potential problems. Our general home inspection process includes the following: • Foundation: We extensively examine the foundation from the crawl space to the visible portions above ground, checking for any signs of cracks, leaks, water damage, bowed walls, structural settling, deterioration or corrosion that could compromise the structural integrity over time. To identify potential issues, we observe the thickness, material and quality of the foundation walls, piers, concrete supports, and footings. |

• Structural: We perform a rigorous inspection of all load-bearing structures, including beams, joists, subflooring, wall framing and main structural supports. We observe for signs of sagging, deflection, wood rot, insect damage, rust, inadequate installation or joining techniques. We test for looseness, movement and stability to assess the overall condition and integrity of the home's framing and determine if any components need reinforcement or replacement.
• Roof: We climb onto the roof to perform an exhaustive inspection, closely examining each roof section, pipe penetration, flashing and appurtenance for damage, deterioration, corrosion or defects. We look for curled, brittle or missing shingles; wood damage from rot or insects; broken or perforated flashing; and signs of leaks or previous water intrusion. We determine the roof's overall condition, quality and expected remaining lifespan.
• Exterior: Our thorough exterior inspection includes a comprehensive assessment of siding, trim, doors, windows, decks, porches and more. We check for cracked caulking and seals, wood rot, peeling paint, rust, damage and deterioration that could lead to moisture intrusion and structural issues over time. We evaluate exterior components to determine if replacement, repair or maintenance is needed.
• Plumbing: We perform entire-house water pressure tests and minutely inspect all visible plumbing components for any leaks, corrosion or other issues that could result in costly repairs.
• Electrical: We test every outlet and light switch and examine all electrical system components, including wiring, breaker panels and junction boxes. We identify any potential hazards or substandard installations that need to be upgraded.
• Heating & Cooling: We comprehensively evaluate the entire HVAC system, testing and inspecting all major components. We examine the furnace and air conditioner, checking for proper operation, signs of corrosion or deterioration, and deficiencies that could create safety hazards. We inspect the heat exchangers, burners, controls, thermostats and ductwork for damage, leaks and inadequate insulation. We identify system deficiencies that could lead to breakdowns or inefficient operation and recommend any needed repairs or upgrades.
• Attic: We perform an exhaustive inspection of all accessible attic areas, including the attic floor, trusses, supports and insulation. We look for water stains, wood rot, insect damage and corrosion that indicate current or potential issues. We evaluate the attic space's ventilation, moisture management, and structural integrity and identify any necessary repairs or improvements.
• Interior: Our thorough house inspection covers every room, evaluating all structural components and built-in fixtures. We examine the condition of floors, walls, ceilings and windows. We inspect stairways and railing systems for safety issues. We identify signs of damage, deterioration, water infiltration, wood rot and insect infestation that may require repair.
• Appliances: We perform an in-depth operational evaluation of any appliances included in the home. We test each major appliance, assessing condition, proper function and safety. We inspect appliances for signs of damage, wear, cord fraying and other potential hazards. We identify any needed repairs or parts replacements to ensure appliances provide reliable operation.
